That's certainly good reasoning that I hadn't thought of. Makes a bit more sense as to why I see it used like this so often. And it certainly does make sense to not get bogged down in every different detail when beginning so I see why one would teach this way. In fact I feel like it could have been a good idea in the different times I've taught people this sort of thing... Thanks for the perspective!
